When DH and I first met he was a bit overweight. He's always liked his food and ate more than the average person.
After we married, he started eating much more and it got to the point where he'd have a massive fry-up for breakfast every morning, Extra large Mcdonalds meals for lunch and a huge dinner (piled high with sausages and mash etc) and THEN he'd get a massive take-away most nights too, sometimes even ordering 2 meals for himself. He'd eat tons of crisps, chocolate, cakes etc during the day too and before long he reached 29 stone.
He tried every diet going from atkins to weight watchers and he just couldn't stop himself from eating. After a consoultation with a doctor, who was concerned for his heart, he was put forward for a gastric bypass.
This was two years ago he had it done and in those two years he has lost 16 stone in weight. Basically because he's had no choice but to limit his food intake.
However, in the past few months I have noticed his appetite increasing rapidly. It started with his portion sizes growing bigger, biscuits and crisps going down fast in the cupboards, take-aways every week ... now it just seems to be repeating itself from two years ago.
Yesterday he ate a packet of crisps for his breakfast, a full pack of sushi for his lunch - and then a double cheese burger and medium fries from McDonalds for lunch ... another packet of crisps mid-afternoon, a few biscuits, a steak burger, beans and cheese for dinner, a quarter of mince-meat pie for afters, a ig bar of chocolate for supper and then he was saying he was starving and did I fancy a take-away.
This morning he had breakfast and then made himself a cheese toastie before admitting that he couldn't actually eat it, he'd just made it up automatically because it was there and he fancied it.
He's still losing weight which is why I think he is under a false sense of security thinking he can eat what he wants and lose weight but he's eating more than me again and its bordering on excessive. before long the weight will start creeping back on.
He won't listen to me, says I'm nagging etc but I don't want to see him grow massive again and from a selfish point of view, I don't want to share my life with a greedy pig again either.
I thought all that was behind us. Am I lacking understanding or being shallow or what? I just can't understand how he hasn't learnt his lesson from the first time. Its so frustrating.
